Resort-based snorkel trip to Wakatobi, Indonesia October 16-24, 2016

Wakatobi is a luxury eco resort renown for it’s vibrant reefs, diverse and abundant sea life in a spectacular setting. You will enjoy a level of service, remoteness and tranquility rarely found anywhere else on the planet. Best of all, access to the the reefs begin right from the beach.

Wakatobi is located in S.E. Sulawesi within a National Marine Park that is widely recognized as having the highest number of coral and fish species in the world.
There are over 500 species of reef building coral in a wonderful array of colors, shapes and sizes that are home to schools of reef fish. This complex underwater ecosystem offers everything from eel grass and sea turtles to more exotic critters like octopus, frogfish and cuttlefish.  Jacques Cousteau called it “Underwater Nirvana”.

This remote eco-resort has earned numerous awards and rave reviews. I got this report from two sisters I sent there earlier this year:
“This place is so totally incredible!!!! It’s Unbelievable!!!! I’m going to be so bored going anywhere else. The coral is so magnificent it’s hard to see the millions of fish!!!!! Eat sleep get wet…..repeat….lol…..love it!”
